Özet

Alacadag, due its different vegetation composition, has been declared as Nature Protection Area in Antalya in Turkey. The special vegetation composition may sign that special lichen taxa can be found in the area. Therefore, the richness of the lichenized and lichenicolous fungi of the area was determined. According to results, a total of 125 taxa belonging to 9 orders, 27 families and 66 genera were identified. Three of these taxa are lichenicolous fungi living parasitically on lichens. Of these three, Abrothallus welwitschii Tul. ex Mont. is newly recorded from Turkey. In addition, lichenized fungi Calicium pinicola (Tibell) M. Prieto & Wedin, Catapyrenium psoromoides (Boner) R. Sant., Parmelia ernstiae Feuerer & A. Thell., Sticta limbata (Sm.) Ach. were reported firstly in Turkey with this research. Of all determined taxa for the area and thirty-three taxa for Antalya Province are new. Fourteen taxa that had been known as specific to different geogra hical regions of Turkey before, were first record from Mediterranean region of the country. In addition, it is concluded that the species richness composition of Alacadag Nature Protection Area showed low similarity to nearby compared areas. It was determined that many of these dissimilar taxa are only species that can live in good environmental conditions.
